We will need balls with a diameter of 20-25 cm (10 or 12 inches). For 1 meter of a garland with a diameter of 20 cm, 28 balls are needed, with a diameter of 25 cm, 24 balls :)

Inflate the balloons (the balloons in this garland are filled with ordinary air). It is important to learn how to tie a ball correctly. You need to tie the ball with yourself, so to speak, i.e. make a knot with the neck of the ball itself. A little practice and the balls will learn to obey you :)

In order for the balloon not to deflate the next day, you must first of all clean it from small debris workplace. Even the dust from drywall is terrible for balls, ceiling tiles, but what about wood shavings or small fragments from broken glass ...

It is necessary to calibrate the balls to one size. To do this, we need to make a calibrator with the dimensions necessary for the garland (we have a home-made chipboard calibrator with established dimensions of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 cm) Here is an example of making a garland of 25 cm. The calibrator can successfully replace any container (bucket, saucepan with the required diameter)

Balls must be strictly calibrated in size. We are used to calibrating along the long side of the ball - from the crown to the tail.

But it is recommended by professional aero designers to do the calibration by pushing the ball into the groove of the calibrator vertically (rev. 11/20/11)

We connect the calibrated balls in pairs with each other. In no case do you need to tighten the balls :) We tie the balls with their necks to each other in pairs, then we simply twist the pairs together and get a link of 4 balls.

It is better to use quality balls made in Italy, Belgium, Colombia, Mexico or Portugal. Balls made in China, unfortunately, are more than 50% defective. High-quality balloons are made of natural latex, thanks to which the rubber is easily stretched.

We should get such blanks - twos. Important point: Floors must be clean, free of chips, sand and dirt. This photo shoot took place in extremely unfavorable conditions for balloons. Please take into account the remark regarding the cleanliness of the surface, because. depends on the lifespan of the balls

We twist the resulting twos together, as a result, we should get such a link - the main component of the garland.

Like this.

It is better not to knit in triplets, the garland will turn out to be unstable. Let's say, if you want to make a tricolor garland, then we make a four of: white, blue and 2 red balls.

To tie the garland, we need to prepare a rope. Normal will do linen. It is undesirable to use fishing line and nylon thread because of the high probability of cutting the latex during tension.

The end of the rope must be tied to something.

We begin to string the links from the balls onto the rope. In this case, the rope must be twisted between the balls, making one turn around each ball. In this case, the links should fit snugly, but you can’t tighten the rope in any way, as this can damage the balls.

Like this.

We impose the next link close to the first in a checkerboard pattern. Thus, we get a spiral pattern.

And so one after another. It is important not to break the sequence of the drawing.

Like this.

Link by link line up in a beautiful garland. If the balls of the same color are arranged diagonally, it will look like separate coils, if you place these balls next to each other, it will be like a double coil of one color and smaller coils of another color

We make a garland of the required length. When inflating balloons with a diameter of 20 cm, there should be 7 links of 4 balloons in 1 meter of the garland. When inflating balloons 25 cm, respectively, 6 links of 4 balloons.

It is desirable to carry out outdoor installation in calm weather, with the help of 2-3 assistants, trying to mount on surfaces with less sharp corners.

On the street, the finished garland can be attached to the fence only on a rope (linen), indoors - on a fishing line, in extreme cases, design ribbons: the garland must be tied to a rope or fishing line to a carnation, screw or something that you can cling to. Adhesive tape as a means of fastening is better not to use at all.

Remember that a garland hung out on the street will live much less than one installed indoors. During installation, it is desirable to have spare balls available in case the ball bursts in the garland.

Good luck in your endeavor!

2. MK Column of balls

balls 12 "(25 cm) of course it is better to use high-quality balls, here, for example, balls made in Belgium are used

a special device called a compressor

you can use a pump, best of all a two-way one (we ourselves started with such :)

inflate 2 balls, set the size (let's put it in a bucket or pan so that all the balls are the same size) and tie the tails together

we connect the balls with tails, without the use of all sorts of threads, ropes, etc. It's better, of course, to do it without nails :)

you should get something like this. make a second one

And we scroll both twos with each other (it can be clockwise, it can be against, but strictly in one direction 2-3 times)

this four will become the basis of our column, so it needs to be weighted. for this we have to fill the usual ball tap water and just tie to the tails of the ball

or just put this ball of water in the recess between the balls

we begin to lay the prepared fours on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern and scroll between them with a rope (it is enough to scroll each ball in the link 2 times)

like that

column is ready!

we decorated the column a bit by adding small balls and modeling balls, it turned out pretty good, didn't it?;) I knit the small balls separately, i.e. I tie each ball into a knot, tie a small piece of tape to the knot, even better if it is a shdm (ball for modeling), make a turn around 1-2 balls (of which the column link consists) and in a parallel free groove (I don’t know how else to call this notch or free space between the large balls) I fix the second such small ball.

All the very best to all!

Hello!

A child's birthday is always a holiday for everyone. I want to make this holiday bright and unforgettable, but not everyone has the opportunity to order animation, clowns and balloon decorations. All this costs a lot of money, alas. But it's too early to get upset! You can make a beautiful garland of balloons with your own hands, while spending a minimum of money.

On aliexpress, in the holiday products section, I like to sit for hours. Sometimes interesting products pop up there that you can’t find in a regular search engine, and you can’t buy in a regular store either.

Balloon Ribbon just a product that you can’t buy anywhere.

It looks unsightly and there is actually nothing to photograph. There are several types of this tape.

The Chinese have a ribbon just with holes-circles, but there is one like mine with two holes, where you insert a ball into one, thread it into a smaller hole and it keeps perfectly there until it deflates.

In the one that is just with a hole-circle, I understood there that the ball needs to be inserted, inflated, and then tie a knot so that it does not fly out, but it’s not convenient for me. I can't tie balloons without string. My husband knows how, but he did not help me in this process. Therefore, I focused only on my abilities.

• I ordered
• The price is $1.26.

The tape was tracked only in China. Came in a simple package and wrapped with tape. The length was promised 5 meters, but I did not measure it, because I was too lazy to go to the garage and dig there in search of a tape measure.

Let me just say that I had enough for the idea and still decently left. And since the tape is reusable, it will last me a lifetime)). It is strong, does not stretch under the weight of the balls, but by itself can sag. Turns out balloons are pretty heavy.

How to make a garland of balloons with your own hands?

First, decide on the color of the balls and their size. You can google what you want. It's not a problem. The problem is to find balls of the desired shade. It just seems that there are a lot of balls, when you start looking you understand that many of them are of terrible quality.

Smell the balls. They should not stink, otherwise the stench will be everywhere and will not disappear before the holiday.

And if you do, inflate with your mouth, then make sure that the balls are clean, sorry. Mine tasted bitter and I thought that by morning I would either get poisoned or my lips would crack. But no, in the morning only my cheeks hurt)).

Do not buy many packages at once without checking how the balloons inflate. I bought one pack of balloons that I couldn't inflate. My necks burst, my maxillary sinuses swelled, my stomach swelled, all my lungs expanded, but the balloon did not swell.

If you have a pump, then generally fine. I inflated myself, by mouth.

I could not find pink balloons, so I decided that I would have something like a rainbow. True, it was necessary to start with a different color or turn it the other way around, but I was so tired of inflating that I decided to leave it as it is.

Already in the process, I realized that the balloons could be inflated in different sizes and then the garland would have turned out more interesting, but I did not redo it. Next time I'll do something like that.

Already inflated balloons are inserted without problems. Do not fall out of there, hold on well. The slots are at a distance of a couple of cm from each other. One or more balls can be inserted into one slot. The splendor of your garland will depend on this, but all this needs to be watched in the process. Insert a lot, the garland will begin to twist.

She tied it with threads and then quietly hid them inside. They didn't get out. The tape itself is not visible in the finished product.

Balloons inflated to the maximum. My garland is huge. In the future, I want to make pink, but this is if pink balls come across, so far I see everything only multi-colored on sale.

Our garland has already been holding for the third week and only two balls have been blown away in it. The rest continue to hang in their original form. Looks like a good blow and tied.

I will disassemble when most of the balls are blown away. By the way, balloons can also be reused if you deflate them carefully.

How many balls do I need?

I bought 100 balls but didn't use them all. They cost me 300 rubles.

About 3 meters I made a rainbow without of blue color 8 balls for each color. It turned out 6 colors of about 8 balls. Sometimes, from increased inflation, she did more than necessary. I also inserted them so that the good would not disappear.

That is, six eight = forty eight + - a few balls, but this is about 3 meters. At 5, I would use up all the balls approximately. It all depends on the size of the balls. Larger ones take up more space on the tape. Small ones may need more logically, female naturally.

I fixed the garland for its own holes and screws. The garland at the exit is quite heavy, you just can’t stick it with tape.

I think that at 5 meters you can safely inflate 12 balloons of each color for the rainbow, including blue, but I did not find it at the time.

Total: I spent 300 rubles on balloons, of which I didn’t use all of them, and 100 rubles on a tape that I can reuse. The balls are also reused when gently blown off.

The tape came out for 400 rubles, but brought so much joy to the child and little guests. Daughter to this day pulls the balls. Now we are studying the colors of the garland, since it does not plan to be blown away.

I think the garland is a good purchase. She'll be long enough. For me, it has already paid off. I don't regret buying. I am very glad that I stumbled upon her on Ali.

I advise you to buy. Such an unsightly little thing will bring a lot of joy to your children.

If you think over the design in advance, then a very cool and original garland will come out.

Happy shopping and good mood!!!

Every day different-sized garlands are gaining more and more popularity. They are used to decorate entrance groups, photo zones, in wedding decor and more.

To do various-sized garland without a frame from balloons with our own hands we need:

• balloons 5", 9", 12", 24", 36",
• fishing line,
• balloon compressor or pump.

Inflate clusters of 4.5 balloons 9", 12" caliber, the number depends on the desired length of the garland. If one edge of the garland goes narrower, use 5", 9" caliber balls in this gap. If this entry group letter P, we use the average caliber along the entire length.

Separately, we inflate clusters of 4.5 5" caliber balloons of different sizes, we use them to expand the garland.

We tie the fishing line to the center of the cluster of 9", 12" caliber balls, attach the next cluster and wrap the fishing line around each ball of the next cluster. We knit a garland tightly.

A more complete instruction is described in the video below.

We also mount small clusters to expand the garland with a fishing line. The more different sizes of balloons you use, the more beautiful the garland will be. The large balls at the base of the garland look incomparable, they should be mounted at the very end by eye.

Such a garland is attached like a regular one, either on adhesive tape and a fishing line, or on a fishing line and all kinds of "carnation hooks", as they say in the place. You can decorate the garland with artificial flowers, beads and various decorative elements, in a suitable style.

To do multi-caliber garland on the frame we need a metal-plastic pipe for 16, a chipboard base, a building corner and self-tapping screws for fixing the pipe and the base. The metal-plastic pipe can be given any shape of the desired length.

The base must be heavy enough, for the stability of the structure, it is possible to use several chipboard elements fastened together with self-tapping screws. It is important then to glue all the sharp corners with tape so as not to pop the balls about them.

Garlands can be of various lengths, shapes and volumes. It all depends on the skill and ideas of the author. It is worth noting that experience is very important in this business. Therefore, at first, it is best to make a modest garland of small length from balls of two colors. Having studied the principle of operation, you can safely take on more interesting and multi-color garlands.

To model a 4 m long garland of two colors, you need to stock up on the following items:

1. 40 balls of two colors. Choose colors that go well with each other, as well as appropriate for the event. For example, a combination of such colors will be successful: blue with white, pink with silver, purple with gold, etc.
2. Rope, fishing line or nylon thread 6-7 m. Use fishing line and nylon thread only in extreme cases - if the rope could not be obtained in any way. Fishing line and nylon thread are able to cut the thin latex of the ball.
3. Threads.

Advice. It is better to buy quality balls. Don't skimp on this item. The durability of the structure depends on the quality of the ball. It will be a pity for wasted time and effort if the balls start to burst ahead of time.

Rules for compiling a garland

Step-by-step instructions for making a garland will consist of the following steps:

• Balloons must be inflated to the same size. Professionals use a calibrator for this purpose. At home, the easiest way is to use some kind of container. To check the ball for compliance with the size, it is necessary to lower it into the container. A pan or bucket with a diameter of 20-25 cm is suitable.
• Two balls of the same color are twisted together. Next, you need to do the same with two balls of a different color.
• Both pairs need to be twisted together, arranged crosswise. Such blanks must be made from all the remaining balls.

• It is better to fix one end of the rope on some vertical surface. For example, tie to a cabinet handle.
• Now it's time to fold the garland. The blanks are strung on a rope, wrapping it around each individual ball.

The garland is ready. It remains only to fix the ends of the rope in the right places. The life of such a garland is approximately 2 weeks indoors and 2-3 days outdoors.

Manufacturing nuances and modeling options

When choosing a scheme and colors for a garland of balloons, the specifics of the event are taken into account. In addition, the master must remember important points when decorating the interior with balloons, namely:

1. It is better to stock up on a few extra balls in case of a marriage or an “explosion”.
2. You need to fix the garland in a carefully calibrated place. The surface must be isolated from people, smooth, without sharp corners and objects.
3. The area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe space for which this decoration is being prepared is always taken into account.

Tips for choosing a garland design and decorating various interiors

• A large room requires a voluminous bright garland of different colors or shades of the same color. A small garland in a spacious room will get lost and look sparse. It will not be a simple garland of "fours" that will look more effective, but, for example, a garland of airy "flowers".

• If the event assumes that guests will enter the room through the main entrance, it would be appropriate to make a complex garland in the form of an arch. Such a product will surely surprise guests and create a festive mood.
• The finished garland can be hung at different levels, giving it a wave shape.
• Vertical low columns of balls will look interesting. In addition, such an element will allow you to divide the room, if the conditions of the event dictate it. For example, separate festive table for adults from the children's area.

Balloons symbolize immediacy, lightness and solemnity at the same time. An ambiguous element in the design of the garland will look appropriate both at an official event and at children's holiday. The secret to the success of a balloon garland is in the appropriate combination of colors and size of the decoration.

DIY balloon garland: video

How I like her! I can’t tear myself away, I spend hours looking at the accounts of decorators around the world who have examples of decorating a holiday with such magnificent garlands!

I don't know how to properly call it. If someone knows the exact name, write in the comments. For myself, I call this work "garland-stream". Something like a bright stream of happiness descending from the mountain)).

For example, I collected pictures from the Internet, since there are still very few of our decorators in the portfolio finished works. Not because they can't... They can do everything! It’s just that our customers don’t know yet that garlands can be not only perfect “on a ruler”, but also so fancy!

A garland-stream is a bright object for creating a holiday in a room of any size. It combines multi-colored small and large balls, paper decorative elements and artificial flowers. Beautiful!

All elements for such a garland are sold in stores.

Yes, everything is there, you just need to find and buy.

Balloons with and without pattern, matte and shiny, large and small. Inflate them in advance a lot, a lot, tie them into bundles of several pieces (or glue 3-5 pieces with rubber glue or a glue gun). Then it is much easier to assemble the entire structure from these blanks.

Honeycomb balls. They are sold in stores with goods for the holiday folded. There are many colors and sizes, the blank turns into a ball in a second.

Balloons-accordions. There are also ready ones. I really love these balls for the richness of shades. Light and shadow in them whimsically alternate, and among ordinary balls they stand out very brightly.

Stars. There is no need to weave a lot of stars into the garland. Let there be some spiky accents in our bubble creek.

Tassels. Simple and amazing paper decor elements that will easily hide any flaws in the garland.

Artificial flowers. Buds can also be interwoven, but more often the garland is decorated with long vines with small green leaves. Beautiful and romantic!

Hooks for fastening, mesh, thick cord, adhesive tape, paper clips. After watching the video, you will understand how to use it all. If you have no experience with glue, don't risk it! balloons can burst at the most inopportune moment. For beginners, it is better to simply tie the balls into bundles.

There are no rules!

From what elements you will assemble your garland - your personal decision! It can be made from only balls of different sizes, transparent or shiny, with polka dots or stripes! Can add paper balls, as they look completely different - a different structure, a play of chiaroscuro, a special charm. Somewhere I saw a charming garland with large paper stars. And how cool the stream with bright tassels looks! Artificial creepers woven into the garland add romance.

Another important thing is what tricks the decorator uses. For example, he can collect a garland on one central cord. This is beautiful, but you need to carefully fill all the voids with artificial flowers so that the fishing line or cord is not visible.

If the decorator knows how to masterfully use a low-temperature glue gun, it turns out even more spectacular: small balls are glued to large ones, and our garland starts to really bubble! This technique allows you to create a more magnificent decoration.

But that's not all! If, before starting work, a frame is made of a flexible mesh, to which all other elements will then be attached, the “stream” will turn out just great!

I found a video that shows the whole process of making such a garland. Even for those who do not know English, everything is very clear! For decorators, there are no revelations here, but among the visitors of the Again Holiday site there are many enthusiasts who create a holiday with their own hands.

Not only walls

A garland-brook can decorate a photo zone indoors and on fresh air, frame the window and front door. This garland is also placed on the festive table (in this case, feel free to combine balls with fresh flowers), decorate the buffet line along the wall, decorate the candy bar, cover the edge of the stage with a stream, or simply put it on the floor along the plinth. Nondescript columns are beaten with such a garland, unwanted objects are hidden in the room, etc.

Most of the pictures on the Internet for some reason are in pink. Apparently, strict symmetrical decorations are more often ordered for men's holidays)).
